I'll play second fiddle to your new love while it lastsJust like all the others I played for in the pastWhy can't I be a leader and play your leading partWhy must I always have to play second fiddle in your heart

Play fiddle play will there never come a dayWhen I won't have to play the partOf second fiddle in your heart

Each time you find a new love you leave me here to cryThe teardrops tell a story of a love that just won't dieLike an early morning paper the news you get just partWhy must I always have to play second fiddle in your heart
